Satanfny Evening, 1). 12, 1876

B. F. HAVENS desires us to say that lie is not a correspondent of the CinciumUi Enquirer, aud did cot write the letter to that paper signed "Hoosier," which was republished.in the GAZETTE of day before yesterday. We were not aware that any body had suspected him of being its father.

IT has remained for Storrs, of Babcock's counsel, to perpetrate the colossal joke of the season. In stating to the court their reason for taking the President's deposition instead of having him testify orslly, he said the exigences of the public service would no' admit of Grant's leaving Washington. Since wheu did the public service ever keep Ulysses in Washington?

Forbidden Fruit.

It is an instinct deeply imbedded human nature to hold to a good thing. There are few oliice holders who can rt sist the temptation to be re-elected or reappointed. The possession of wealth and honor and the danger of sacrificing all in the shifting quicksands of political life seem to have little power to deter them, and the strongest men's vanity, ass£dously cultivated by parasites who call themselves friends, ofton induces a mania which is uncontrollable by reason.

The rumor has been current for some time, that Gen. Grant is anx--ious to be elected president for a ihird term, and that his anxiety has been gradually dovelnpeing into a confidence of success. We have been disposed to doubt ail these reports. This doubt, however, has not been founded so much upon Grant's character as a man, as upon the notion that the people's decided conviction upon this point would render the realization of any {such hope by him utterly impo?sible. But several circumstances have lately served to dispel those doubts, and unless the President is guided in the future by more judicious advisors th3u he seems to have had hitherto, he may soon find himself fairly entered for the race of this centennial year.

Gen. Grant is proverbally a stubborn man, Mrs. Grant has said so with reference to his social and domestic life, and the rebels found him so in the army, and the politicians have found him so in his appointments. During the last few months he has been both honestly criticised, aud personally abused, and it is his peculiar misfortune, holding to the "personal property" idea of his office, that he is not always able to discriminate betw.-en these two modes of treatment. Therefore he sometimes Bays (within himself) to-those who have to support him but found him lacking iu appreciation of the true character of his functions: '•This is my business, and I will show you that I can continue to transact it, as I have done in spite of you." The most startling errors he has committed, thus become the most potent incentives for clinging to-the office which, possibly, a few months ago he was prepared to surrender at the end of his present term. It is an ungracious thing to say. but it is a fact, that no President was ever surrounded by a more numerous ring of personal flatterers than Gen. Grant. They staked their fortunes four years ago, upon his continuance iu office. It was a life or death struggle with most of them, and they have had more than the time usually allowed to such persons for mining iu the rich placers of a national administration. They industriously encourage the President's hopes, and excite bis desires for vindication, if not for revenge, against all who, for any reason, or for no reason at all, oppose him. These facts go for what they are worth, to justiiy the opinion that the President is looking for another re-election.

Some persons also insist, upon recalling the events of 1S71 and 1872 so somewhat similar in their bearing upon the third term question, to those of the present year. The President then was both criticised aud abused for someobjectionableacts. He then unofficially declared that he did not want or expect to be re-elected, as be has lately very equivocally de clared. But when the time came his personal adherents demanded a re nomination to "vindicate" him, and circumstances forced his critics into bis support. Doubtless he is now told thot the history of 1872 may be repeated. It is not impossible that he has also been told there is anew element in politics corniug to his support—the democrats of the southern states.

Looking at the matter from a party point of view, the first appearance of a third term proposition seems preposterous. But when one passes on to review the present condition of party organization and management the matter becomes somewhat serious. Without coBsideriag further, however, the details of possible com biuations to re-elect a President for the third term, we regard any such combination as sure to be futile. A third term for a President of the United States is forbidden fruit, and woe to him who tries to pluck it.

"Has This Paid."

Greenback papers are not pleased with Secretary Bristol 'ssfeady steps towards specie payments, and no -step backward. The animus tf their

opposition is well pet forth in the following paragraph taken from a recent issue of the Express of this city. It says: "Under the specie resumption act the bonded debt has been increased fifteen million dollars, nine millions of which were expended in the purchase of silver bullion, and the balance iu the purchase aud re* tirement of greenbacks. Has this paid?"

Its interrogatory is addressed to whom it may concern, and is not specially directed to the GAZETTE. However, as our contemporary seems to be seeking for information the GAZETTE will give it an answer and since its suits our purpose, we will give it in au allegorical form.

John Jones was, and is, an indus trious, well-to-do artisan, fairly prosperous, and of good repute. John is perfectly solvent, but some what in volved iu debt. He got into that condition during the war.

Johns signature is attatcbeij to several notes, on which the old fellow pays She interest with commendable regularity, but never without registering a vow, that if he ever gets out cf debt he will never get in again.

At the time he wasrunningbehind in business and borrowing "money, John also found it convenient to ruu up little bills with his tailor and grocer, or as the song with "the butcher, the baker, and the candlestick maker." He had 110 especial difficulty iu getting credit with these parties. Qf course they would have preferred cash, not befng lunatics, and would have made some reduction in the price, if he had puid them in cash. But as we said, John was a little cramped, and he asked for credit. It was granted him, for John was known to be solvent, and, better than mere solvency, he was known to beau honest and honerable man, who would never let a creditor suffer while he had a cent.

Well, time wore on. He was get--ting along well enough but lacked ready money. After waiting a reasonable time for John to pay them their bills, his creditors sent in their accounts. John hadn't the money to pay. He went arouud to see them auti asked them to wait a few days They consented, for they were disposed to be obliging, aud Johu was an honest man, besides a Hgco 1 cus* tomer. In a few days Johu found that the money he expected to have, was not forthcoming and so he sat down aud thought out loud something after this fashion: "These men sold me these goods 1 have used, taking my word for pay. I told them I would pav them and they have my word. Tnat I have not the money iu hand is my misfortune, not their fauit.. I told them I would paj7 them, and they took my word for it. I did not tell them if this thing happened or that, that I would pay them, but I said I would pay them and they took my word. They credited me to accommodate me, and not to benefit themselves. As their bills run now. they receive no interest, arid perhaps they will have to borrow money and pay interest if I do not pay them.

Whatever that interest amounts to I will naqe defrauded them of it, be side putting them to I know not what inconvenience by my neglect. Even if I pay them interest ou their ac« countsl have no right tocempel them to loan me money, no such bargain having been entered intoj No, to keep my word I must pay them. If I have not the money it mv place to borrow it, paying interest for it, no matter how much, and not compel them to borrow. It will cost me something, of course. But if it dont cost me, it will them, and I am the person whom, in all fairness it should cost. I will borrow money at the lowest rate I can get it, but borrow it I will, and I will pay up these over due-open accounts, which bear no interest, and I will kefp my faith with these people, and show them they were not mistaken when they relied

011

Johu jonea asan hon­

est and honorable mati, and held his word as good as his bond. John did borrow and pay his debts.

Has this paid" John Jonet? to begin with when honor involved in an action "has this paid?" is an interrogatory which implies an insult. But it has paid, John Jones. It always pays, to keen faith. It pays to keep ones word at par. But in the beaten way of dollars aud cents.it pays John Jones, Good faith is creditable. It can be discounted in banks, passes current rethe street, and will get money when tricky opulence goes a beggiDg. It gets money cheapest from tbe lender, because its return is certain according to the spirit of the contract, and because it Bcorns evasion, and hidings behind tbe law. It pays John Jonee because his character ae an honest and an honorabte man has become known, and he ha3 been enabled to fund tbe whole volume of his indebtedness at a lower rate of interest than it bore before. He lost, to be sure, or seemed to lose, by the amount of the interest he paid for the money wherewith to pay bis tradespeople, instead of forcing them to carry the loan for him,for nothing. But he more tbau made up for the difference by the lower rate of interest he pays on all of bis indebtedness.

Besides, it is not certain but that had John tricked the creditors,whom he had partially in his power, that those who had him in their power would have foreclosed their mortgages, or refused to loan to him agaiD ex«ept at a higher rate, reasoning among themselves that as John had shown a slippery disposition, he would have to pay them something for the risk they run in dealing with a man, who, only needed an opportunity to defraud them. Yes, John Jones, it pays to keep faith. May everything pay as well!

Tbe best of teas, the choicest of coffees, sugars, spices, cannned trnils, etc. Cronin thoroughly nn destands his business, and understanding it attends to it thoroughly, You may rely upon finding nothing but the best at his establishment.

During the prevalence of this most extraordinary weather the streets are full of slush and mud, and no one should pretend to go out without rubbers on bis or her feet.

The table is supplied at all times with all the substantial and all the delicacies of the season. The list of regular boarders has largely increased within the past few months, and tbe tables are always well filled, both with eaters and eatables. The bar and billiard room of tbe house is under Mr. Carson's control and is one of the most quiet and orderly places in the city. The bar is stocked with some of the linest liquors to be found in the country, and those who indulge in nn m°rous draughts at this bar are never aillicted on the following mor«ing with aching heads or anything of that sort.

R. W. Rippotoe has arrived at the conclusion that his business is nltoether too large to be confined to one establishment, and he will hereafter conduct a branch store on Fourth street, between Ohio aud Walnut. This will be a great accommodation to Mr. Rippetoe's numerous customers who reside in the southwestern portion of the city. It will save t-bem a walk of several squares. Rippetoe's customers are all satisfied that they are served with the best groceries and provisions in tbe market, and consequently, do not care to prospect among inferior establish ments, where the quality of goods ig extremely uncertain. The same variety and same quality ot goods whi-ib have always been found at the White Front, will be found at the Fonrth street establishment. Mr. Rippotoe makes a specalty of fruits, produce and vegetables, and. always has on hand a supply ot all varieties of these commodities.

George W. Ballew, the popular dentist, is enjoying as large a patronage as any dentist in the city. Ballew is thoroughly schooled in hjs profession, and as he never allows any one to leav« his otflce dissatisfied, his patronage is constantly on the increase. His work is as cheap as the cheapest.

Bruning is famous for the excellence of the viands he sets before his patrone. And those who have been patrons of his establishment need no second bidding to again avail themselves of its advantages. His place is especially convenient for business men and clerks, who cannot find time tovo home to their dinners. His tables are always full at dinner-time.

C. S. Cronin, at the corner of Eighth and Main, conducts one of the best saloons in tbe city. Cronin being gentlemen, a scholar and a good judge of whisky himself, is conscientiously opposed to setting before bis customers nnvthing but the best whisky, and tbe best wine, and the best beer. His place is always quiet and orderly, aud no person need fear that he will meet any rowdyish fellows there Cronin wont have them about him.

It is safe to say that a more complete establishment connot be found in the State than W. S. Gran's Terre Haute House sample rooms and billiard parlor. Tho tables are of tbe standard manufacture of the J. M. Brunswich fc Bailee Co., and are kept in thorough condition. Tbe bar i3 stocked with the linest liquors.

Wvatts two establishment are doing the lions share of business in fresh meats, lard Jc etc. W.vatt has au enviable reputation as a butcher in this city. Ho is known to exercise the greatest care and tho best judgment in tho, selections of animals which he kills, and no inferior meat is ever sold from his shop. Wyatt has well earned the name of old reliable.

The J. M. Brunswick and Ike Company are sending a large number of billiard tables to England, France, Italy aud Germany, as there is not a manufactory in Europe which produces tabfes equal to those manulacturpd by this house. They make a specialty of tbe "Parlor Table," foi use in private residences. It is an elegant ornament and furnishes an interesting and popular pastime. Mr. W. H. Cleland, who represents tho firm in in this spctiou, can be found at the St. Clair House, where he will gladly givo any information concerning tho tables which may ba desired.

I was exceedingly gratified to learn that your brother Hal was generous enough in his good opinions of our Rockville people as not to attribute the cause of hi3 getting so many "sheets in the wind," when here, on the occasion of the soldier reunion, last fall, to any of his pious relatives, but rather to au appetite cultivated by Terre Haute associations, outside of tbe influence of tbe secular press. Of course the influence of all "pious papers" has done a great deal, and will still continue to do more towards reforming thi-s evil, and I look to this cue great moral source to perform wonders yet in your brother Hal:scomplete reformation, if you can prevail upon him to hoed the teachings of this great elevating power. The GAZETTE, since it has exposed the cause of ttue holiness and given up so much of its valuable space to the promulgation of such truths as are from time to lime furnished in its columns from the pens ofeuch worthy contributors as yourself and the God like "P.," hHs increased its circulation iu our little village, until the Saturday edition hsa almost doubled the former circulation,which is, of course, a very gratifying result to the proprietors of the poper, and I hope you will coutinue trie publication of your letters to me ia its columns, for I am persuaded it will be the means of doing much towards Hal's reformation.

In your last letter y^u said something about the news papers attacking Mr. Howe, and said it was all because he had written some aiticles for the Mail a long time ago, ami more especially on account of a letter be (Mr. Howe) had written about Dr. Bigblow and the Express said it was all wrong to write it. and that the letter was intended to ridicule a good Dr. and lots of other news which you said you had not the time to write me but promised that tbe Gazette would give it all last Saturday, and would also reproduce the Dr. Bigblow article so every body could see what the fus-'- had originated from and from their own conclusions as to whether tbe Express was right in saying so many hard things atout Mr. Howe. But 3*011 were mistaken,or there were two kinds of Gazette printed, for the one I bought did have the articles in at bt: I looked it all over aud then went over and borrowed Mr, Magills at tho Republic in office and it did not have it iu. Fow I think you wese real mean to impose upon ine'in this way for I only had live cents and if I had known the GAZETTE did not have the Bigblow article in it, I could have bought shewing gum enough to have done me all day Sunday with the money. Aud this is not all either I told lots of my "friends about tbe GAZETTE" going to publish the article, and a number of them sent down to Terre Haute by the express messenger on the train to bring them a paper, and there were a great many bought papers and none of them had a word in it about the Dr. Bigblow article and they all say that you were paid for writing to me that the GAZELTE would publish this thing jusf uvnke the GAZETTE-sell. ButTl repel with indignation all such insinuations, for 'I know you would not do such a thing.

Now Dear Laura I hope you will do something to try and settle this trouble between those persons whom you strive to thiuk so much of. I know you cau do a great deal wheu you exert your influence in tbe right direction, aud with the influence of sjcb a model of perfection a3 he says your Brother Hal is, and the moral persuasion of the Gazette on your side, I am satisfied you will be able to stop this cruel warfare which is completely upheaving the very foundation of Christianity in Terre Haute. I do bops you will not forget the great responsibilty that rests ou your sholders in this matter and bring to bear every influence which may lead towards the accomplishment of so great a purpose. I don't know your brother, but my intimate friend Purdy Jones says he is just too good to live. Prudv says she knows that you are borrowing trouble about this matter, and that it is not half so bad as you imagine. She says that your cousin interviewed one of the parties, and it was not so bad as he expected to find it. That the doctor who was interviewed, said even your cousin, the editor was alarmed,unnecessarily, after he had interviewed him. Now do let this matter drop dear Laura and come up and see me do, and bring your brother with you. Prudy says he is such good company and is as handsome as he is good—but don't tell him. Ob, I would give eArer so much to get acquainted with him! Wouldn't it be nice if you and I should yet become relatives. Ha! wouldn't it! Who knows but your humble Fannie may yet be Mrs. Oh, do come-up and bring your brother Hal with you. It makes me real nervous to write his name. I know I should fall in love with him on first sighr. Aud Pa, oh! he would bede lighted for me to live iu a great big city like Terre Haute, aud belong to the aristocracy and go to club dauces. But 1 am too happy its all castles in the air.

Now don't wait, dear Laura, but answer right away. Give my love to all the your.g people and let me know who Fred took to the calico bqp at the Terre Haute House tell him not to drink auy more for my sake, Yours as ever,

FANNIE.

A FULL, report of the investigation of charges against Mr. Feitz, the German teacher of the Third Ward, will be found in tbe GAZKTTK of to-day. The examination of witnesses occurred on Thursday evening, and a full report of tbe evidence was in type in the GAZETTE office yesterday, but as the local writers of 11:o morning papers knew nothing of the matter, and wore not likely to get ahead of tho GAZETTE in its publication, wd concluded to save the report for our Saturday readers.
